HAD TO POMP BY TEAM
"Twenty-two years ago today 1
came to Medford," says It. H.. White
head, pioneer banker and capitalist
"and there isn't much left to remind
one of the Medford of those days
only the weather hasn't changed, we
still have the finest autumns In the
.world.
"1 camo from eastern Oregon, a
windy country, and when J saw how
little wind there was here, 1 conclud
ed to stay. There used to be a wind
mill and water tank on the Southern
Pacific track near the depot, but
thero would be ten days at a stretch
when there wouldn't be wind enough
to turn it over, and the main occupa
tion of the agent consisted in pump
ing by hand.
"Tho weather that winter was as
cold as any I have seen since. It got
as low as 8 degrees above zero but
there isn't any noticeable change in
the weather, one year for another
about as uniform as possible to find."
PEAR SHIPMENTS FROM
THE VALLEY ARE 224 CARS
Figures compiled show that 224
cars of pears have bocu shipped from
tho valley to date, and with the la
ter varieties It is estimated tbattho
year's shipment will total at least
,2 GO cars.
This la over twice tho crop in 1911
when 11C cars wero shipped. The
apple crop will bo a record-breaker.
Professor O'Gara estimates the
year's shipments will total approxi
mately p00 cars. Tho original esti
mate' was between 450 and COO cars
of apples.
The pear market is booming at
present and ranchers who have held
their shipments will reap liberal re
wards. One car of Bartlctts cold yes
terday In New York at an average
of $3.30 a box, and a car of D'AnJou
from tho Daggett orchard averaged
from $2 to $2.30 per box. A car of
Dose from tho Druce Wilson orchard
brought from f2 to $2.55 per box,
the car grossing at $1857,
Apple prices aro still uncertain,
but tho prices will be at least equal
to tho average, which, with tho bum
per crop in tho valley, means pros
"porlty for tho growors. Apple pick
ing-lies begun in somo of the orch
ards and In another week will bo In
full swing.

PIONEER STAIN AGENT
A TRUE PROSPERITY PROMOTER.
OF greater direct importance to the Rogue 1 J Ivor vnlloy
than the scramble among office seekers to guide the
destinies of. tho nation are the results of the experiments
conducted by the government pro-cooling exerts, which
demonstrate" the fact that such perishable fruit as- the
Barflctt pear can bo held for nearly two months utter
picking before marketing.
Bartlctts picked seven weeks ago, placed in cold stor
age for a month, then kept in the refrigerator car used in
transit across the country for two weeks, then exposed in
a store window for a week, are found to be iu perfect con
dition for the table.
Tn spite of claims made for the fancier varieties of
peal's, there is no finer or more delicious pear grown than
the Rogue River 'Bartlett, and when permitted to ripen
in cold storage, its flavor is still finer.
The keeping quality of Rogue river fruit has always
been famous. Rogue river
European caterers of fancy
or other sections, because
quality, produced by the peculiar soil and atmospheric
conditions that, make this region the greatest of natural
frnit belts the sunshine, the altitude, and the soil.
Local pears have long been noted as standing shipment
better than those from any other section. Even exposed
in open market, their keeping qualities are remarkable.
When the pears grown in the "Willamette and other Ore
gon sections wjll scarcely stand shipment to Portland, the
Rogue river product has long found its markets in the
Atlantic cities and even in Europe.
The money in Bartlctts, as in most other perishable
fruit, is in the early or the late product, when they are
scarce and a novelty. If the Rogue river Bartlett can bo,
hold until the immense California output is off the market,'
and the inferior eastern product out of the way, fancy
prices arc always realized.
It has now been demonstrated that this can be profit
ably accomplished, and the Bartlctts held for two months
before sold. This "will add many thousands of dollars to
the income of tho valley and be a potent factor in its
prosperity.
A pre-eooling plant is one of the necessities of the day
not a small one, but a large cooperative plant, capable of
taking care of the entire output. That such an institution
will be among the immediate developments of the future
is' without question Medford energy will solve the prob
lem as it has all others forced upon it.
MONEY TALES, EVEN AT FIRE SALES.
.
BEN" Selling, leading pant-seller and candidate for Unit
ed States senator, is sending newspapers of the state,
matter in the interest of his candidacy, which he asks
them to publish gratis. lie makes the excuse that the
corrupt practices act forbids his paying for tho same.
The corrupt practices act did not prevent JNLV. Selling
from spending a great deal of money at the primaries, and
his friends from spending still more. Moreover, there is
a suspicion that AEr. Selling is running to advertise his
business as well as to secure the office, for in his campaign
he hands out his business cards to those who do not want
his political cards, and asks them to call at his store when
in the metropolis.
There is no reason why the newsparjers should print
anything free for Mr. Selling. His boast is that he runs
his own business on purely commercial lines, lie never
gives anything away not even a pair of pants. Having
commercialized politics, business principles ought to gov
ern his transactions.
It makes no differences, -to this paper at least, whether
Mr. Selling buys its space or not. It would not support,
him, as it considers him totally unfit to occupy the place
he asjrircs to. If on account of racial prejudice, Senator
Simon, in spite of his acknowledged ability, found himself
a cipher at Washington, how much less figure would our
leading pant-seller and statesman, make?
Mr. Selling, as chairman of the Taft committee, repre
sented the reactionary element in Oregon politics. As a
supporter of Taft, he still represents this clement, al
though he styles himself a "Taft progressive," whatever
that ma)r mean. He represents no vital issue stands for
no fundamental principle just a commercialized straddle.
Mr. Selling's knowledge of Oregon is confined to the
metropolis. Until he began bis campaign, lie was ignorant
of the rest of the state, had never visited it, knew nothing
of it, though he had lived his life in Oregon. His ignorance
was shown in the state senate when he ridiculed Crater
Lake as a world wonder, and vigorously fought the high
way appropriation. His narrowness of vision was further
emphasized when he helped slaughter the normal schools
of the state and killed the only state institution in south
em Oregon.
Mv. Selling spent the summer in Yellowstone park. He
is familiar with other states. He knows more about
Europe than Oregon. He lias seen the wonders of the
Alps, but is ignorant of those of the Cascades. His cam
paign took him recently to Klamath Falls, within easy
distance of Crater Lake, yet hcnever took the trouble to
visit it in his opinion, it was not worth while, yet at the
same time the most distinguished scientists of Europe
thought it worth while to travel 0,000 miles to see. But
even had lie seen Crater Lake, it is doubtful whether Air.
Selling has the capacity to appreciate it.
The newspapers should adopt Mr. Selling's own suc
cessful motto, demand cash for what they sell. Giye him
a bargain rate in the want Columns as a leader, perhaps,
as he sells a pair of cheap pants at slight profit to induce
traue, mix. give jioumig away, ju me space is worm wane,
it is worth paying for, just as pants arc and no one
realizes it better than our leading pant-seller and statesman.
